Airtel enters cloud computing with HP

Despite the poor connectivity in India, cloud computing offers several benefits in the region. Dispersed workforce, international clients and access to powerful IT resources are some advantages. Realizing these advantages, India has been seeing continuous interest in the space not only from Indian companies but interntaional players as well.

Targeting SMBs, Airtel calls this the Cloud Enablement Platform (CLEP) and is built on HP's Aggregation Platform for Software as a Service (AP4SaaS). According to the press release, HP's AP4SaaS plugs into Airtel's network infrastructure which allows Bharti to offer "Communications as a Service" in addition to SaaS.
